we already have one girl ***** 3 years and got another ***** only yesterday from a rescue centre, she is a collie about 7 months, nervous but very affectionate and we know she needs good training and lots of exercise, she is lovely natured and she will make a lovely dog once we get over the teething problems. can i have some advice on how to deal with her if she pees on our bed again, she had a good exercise this morning but when she got back in she came upstairs with me and jumped on our bed and peed, i told her she was naughty, didn’t tap her on the nose or anything, she was very ********** but I’m not sure how to deal with it should she do it again…..any advice please…..
she was only in kennels for 1 week and was house trained prior to then, i dont need to house train her, i need to be able to work with her and her insecurities, if i can understand why she jumped on my bed and weed then i can have a better understanding of how to help her not feel the urge to do it again….any advice other than ‘house train her’ please. she goes in to the garden and wees on command!

potty train it
keep her out of your bedroom or people will think its you who pees the bed and everyone will give you sympathetic nods , and will stop making you cups of tea and mention tenalady and stuff!
she is showing submission to you though, seriously!
tell it off when it pees in the wrong place – even if it makes you sad it is for the best.
Praise it when it pees in the right place.
Just close the door to your bedroom, until she has had plenty of time to settle in to her new life. It’s not possible for her to miss having the run of the house if you haven’t given it to her yet. You’re probably not using that room during the day much anyway. You don’t want to start out with a power struggle right off the bat, and ****** on your bed is definitely not a sign of submission. Choose your battles. Put her in a crate downstairs for a little while if you have to go upstairs and are concerned about leaving her unsupervised. Limit her access to only a couple of rooms at first until she understands what’s expected of her.
you show your pup where it peed and make sure it knows it did wrong by making your voice sound angry then you put it somewhere and don’t give it attention for a while.
my puppy did this. what we did was only allow it in 1 room untill he was fully potty trained. ie the lounge coz we were always there. at night we put him in a crate in my room. (walk just before and after going in/out of crate) ****** on your bed could be your puppys way of marking his territory. also puppys tend to *** when they get excited. so if she comes upstairs with you and on your bed dont go aww puppy blah blah blah in a babys voice.(took me ages not to do it!) haha. your could also try pushing your pups nose in the area she peed and say no and then take her outside to a spot of grass. she will then reaslise she cant do it in the house but outside.
hope i helped!
good luck
she shouldn’t be allowed on or near your bed full stop. she must have her own bed in a room down stairs. so first of all, stop her coming upstairs, tell her to wait at the bottom of the stairs when you go up, if she still follows you say in a growly loud voice get down! or no! stay there do this every time she tries to follow you untill she gets the message, and always tell her to wait at the bottom of the stairs when you go up. and as for the peing on the bed it sounds like what you’re doing is just right, using a loud voice (but not shouting) say NO NO NO NO!! then call her name happily to get her of the bed then take her out side. I hope this helps and good luck!! xx
Keep her off the bed and don’t let her have the run of the house until she’s completely house trained.
I have had dogs that do this. When you go away for any length of time, sometimes it upsets the dogs. They may even think that you left for good. And dogs realize that your bed is where you sleep. So that’s where they ***. It’s not because they aren’t house trained, or because she got scared, it’s because your dog didn’t like you being gone for so long and she wanted to make sure you knew that.
Maybe being in the kennel gave her bad habits which now need to be unlearned. Keep bedroom doors closed with a firm no when she approaches them until she learns it’s a no-go area. Later on you can allow her in again. Have you considered an urinary infection?
Good luck, patience is the trick!
Sometimes very ********** dogs *** to show their submissiveness to whoever is dominant in the relationship – in this case it would be you. The best thing I can suggest is keep her off your bed or confined to a certain area of the house until you’ve had her a bit longer and she is more settled in – babygates are great in helping to establish a no-go zone in your house. She is probably a bit nervous about being in a new house with a new family. A lot of the time problem behaviours can dissipate on their own once the dog has fully settled in.
I think another issue is her confidence – unfortunately this ********** ****** sometimes never goes away but quite a lot of the time it improves as the dog’s confidence grows.
Hope this helps
hi, ive just taken a rescued dog in aswell friday night,we went for lots of walks friday and b4 bedtime too so he was fully emptied so to speak,but saterday morning i found he had tiddled in the lounge,usually he slep with his other owner in his bed but i didnt allow this,since then we visited my mothers house and as soon as we got there he piddled there too.also both times i have left him for just one minute,once to use the toilet myself and another to take the bin bags out he piddled again,then after a long walk this evening as soon as we got in he piddled again.im guessing this is because he doesnt like the thought of me leaving him and is worried i wont come back,also probably trying to mark his territory so that in his own doggy mind he has marked it as his new home.he was fully house trained b4 i got him and i think we are both having the same problems,i did however show my dog where he piddled and put his nose close to it while saying NO in an angry upset voice and told him to go to his bed.im hoping once he has settled in he will stop the need to do this.it must be worrying for the dogs and they have feeling just like we do.im keeping him in the lounge till he is settled and he is no way allowed into our bedrooms at all.i think it will just take time,but be strong from the start,you dnt want to confuse the dog.hope that helps.:)
